Effects of increased salinity on gravitaxis in Euglena gracilis

The unicellular freshwater flagellate Euglena gracilis regulates its position in the water column by means of phototactic and gravitactic behavior. Recent experiments have revealed that the cells switch between negative and positive gravitaxis depending upon environmental stimuli such as solar radiation. In this study, the effect of increased salinity on gravitaxis in Euglena gracilis was investigated. In some experiments it was found that salt concentrations up to 5 gL-1 (in some experiments 10 gL-1) increased the motility, velocity and precision of negative gravitactic orientation. Higher salt concentrations decreased all these parameters. At concentrations of about 15 gL-1, cells which did not become immobile, switched from negative to positive gravitaxis. Positive gravitaxis persisted for several hours or even days when the cells were transferred back to standard culture medium. Most of the cells in cultures exposed to salt concentrations above 20 gL-1 lost their motility (partial formation of palmella stages) but recovered when transferred back to standard medium or de-ionised water. Post recovery, the cells showed pronounced positive gravitaxis. Additional investigations on the pigmentation, revealed that the cells showed a complete loss of a carotenoid shoulder in the spectrum, which reappeared when the cells were brought back to standard medium.

A tomato endo-beta-1,4-glucanase, SlCel9C1, represents a distinct subclass with a new family of carbohydrate binding modules (CBM49)

A critical structural feature of many microbial endo-beta-1,4-glucanases (EGases, or cellulases) is a carbohydrate binding module (CBM), which is required for effective crystalline cellulose degradation. However, CBMs are absent from plant EGases that have been biochemically characterized to date, and accordingly, plant EGases are not generally thought to have the capacity to degrade crystalline cellulose. We report the biochemical characterization of a tomato EGase, Solanum lycopersicum Cel8 (SlCel9C1), with a distinct C-terminal noncatalytic module that represents a previously uncharacterized family of CBMs. In vitro binding studies demonstrated that this module indeed binds to crystalline cellulose and can similarly bind as part of a recombinant chimeric fusion protein containing an EGase catalytic domain from the bacterium Thermobifida fusca. Site-directed mutagenesis studies show that tryptophans 559 and 573 play a role in crystalline cellulose binding. The SlCel9C1 CBM, which represents a new CBM family (CBM49), is a defining feature of a new structural subclass (Class C) of plant EGases, with members present throughout the plant kingdom. In addition, the SlCel9C1 catalytic domain was shown to hydrolyze artificial cellulosic polymers, cellulose oligosaccharides, and a variety of plant cell wall polysaccharides.     

Properties of cellulose/pectins composites: Implication for structural and mechanical properties of cell wall

The primary cell wall of dicotyledonous plants can be considered as a concentrated polymer assembly, containing in particular polysaccharides among which cellulose and pectins are known to be the major components. In order to understand and control the textural quality of plant-derived foods, it is highly important to elucidate the rheological and microstructural properties of these components, individually and in mixture, in order to define their implication for structural and mechanical properties of primary plant cell wall. In this study, the rheological and microstructural properties of model systems composed of sugar-beet microfibrillated cellulose and HM pectins from various sources, with varied degrees of methylation and containing different amounts of neutral sugar side chains, were investigated. The influence of the presence of calcium and/or sodium ions and the biopolymer concentrations on the properties of the mixed systems were also studied. The characterizations of the mixed system, considered as a simplified model of primary plant cell wall, showed that whatever the structural characteristics of the pectins, the ionic conditions of the medium and the biopolymer concentrations, the gelation of the composite was mainly controlled by cellulose. Thus, the cellulose network would be the principal component governing the mechanical properties of the cell walls. However, the neutral sugar side chains of the pectins seem to play a part in the interactions with cellulose, as shown by the interesting viscoelastic properties of cellulose/apple HM pectins systems. The rigidity of cellulose/pectins composite was strongly influenced by the structural characteristics of pectins. The particular properties of primary plant cell walls would thus result from the solid viscoelastic properties of cellulose, its interactions with pectins according to their structural characteristics (implication of the neutral sugar side chains and the specific potential calcic interactions) and of the distribution of the components in separate phases.     

Genetic modification in cellulose‐synthase reduces crystallinity and improves biochemical conversion to fermentable sugar

The cellulose synthase (CESA) membrane complex synthesizes microfibrils of cellulose that surround all plant cells. Cellulose is made of sugar (β,1‐4 glucan) and accessing the sugar in cellulose for biofuels is of critical importance to stem the use of fossil fuels and avoid competition with food crops and pristine lands associated with starch‐based biofuel production. The recalcitrance of cellulose to enzymatic conversion to a fermentable form of sugar is related to the degree of hydrogen bonding or crystallization of the glucan chain. Herein, we isolate the first viable low biomass‐crystallinity mutant by screening for altered cell wall structure using X‐ray scattering as well as screening for enzymatic conversion efficiency on a range of cell wall mutants in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. Through detailed analysis of the kinetics of bioconversion we identified a mutant that met both selection criteria. This mutant is ixr1‐2, which contains a mutation in a highly conserved consensus sequence among the C‐terminal transmembrane regions within CESA3. A 34% lower biomass crystallization index and 151% improvement in the efficiency of conversion from raw biomass to fermentable sugars was measured relative to that of wild type (Col‐0). Recognizing the inherent ambiguities with an insoluble complex substrate like cellulose and how little is still understood regarding the regulation of CESA we propose a general model for how to manipulate CESA enzymes to improve the recalcitrance of cellulose to enzymatic hydrolysis. This study also raises intriguing possibilities as to the functional importance of transmembrane anchoring in CESA complex and microfibril formation.     

Effects of structural variation in xyloglucan polymers on interactions with bacterial cellulose

A cellulose/xyloglucan framework is considered to form the basis for the mechanical properties of primary plant cell walls and hence to have a major influence on the biomechanical properties of growing, fleshy plant tissues. In this study, structural variants of xyloglucan have been investigated as components of composites with bacterial cellulose as a simplified model for the cellulose/xyloglucan framework of primary plant cell walls. Evidence for molecular binding to cellulose with perturbation of cellulose crystallinity was found for all xyloglucan types. High molecular mass samples gave homogeneous centimeter-scale composites with extensive cross-linking of cellulose with xyloglucan. Lower molecular mass xyloglucans gave heterogeneous composites having a range of microscopic structures with little, if any, cross-linking. Xyloglucans with reduced levels of galactose substitution had evidence of self-association, competitive with cellulose binding. At comparable molecular mass, fucose substitution resulted in a modest promotion of microscopic features characteristic of primary cell walls. Taken together, the data are evidence that galactose substitution of the xyloglucan core structure is a major determinant of cellulose composite formation and properties, with additional fucose substitution acting as a secondary modulator. These conclusions are consistent with reported structural and mechanical properties of Arabidopsis mutants lacking specific fucose and/or galactose residues.     

Structure of the Proteolipid Protein Extracted from Bovine Central Nervous System Myelin with Nondenaturing Detergents

As a basis for attempts to define the structures of the proteins within myelin, methods have been developed for their extraction and isolation in solutions of non-denaturing detergents. With use of solutions of deoxycholate or Triton X-100, up to 90% of the protein has been extracted from bovine CNS myelin, along with most of the phospholipid. The proteolipid protein has been purified in deoxycholate solutions by chromatography on a blue dye-ligand column, which retained all of the basic protein and 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide-3'-phosphodiesterase, and then on Sephacryl S300, which separated proteolipid protein from phospholipid and high-molecular-weight proteins. The proteolipid protein was isolated from Triton X-100 extracts of myelin by adsorption onto phosphocellulose resin, with subsequent elution by 0.5 M sodium chloride. Gel permeation chromatography was used as the final purification step. Sedimentation equilibrium experiments gave a monomer molecular weight of 134,000 +/- 8000 in deoxycholate and 145,000 +/- 17,000 in Triton X-100 solutions. On the basis of an apparent subunit molecular weight of 23,500 it was deduced that the native protein is probably hexameric. Above 0.2 gL-1 in Triton X-100 solutions and 0.5 gL-1 in deoxycholate solutions the protein aggregated. In deoxycholate solutions the protein adopts the highly helical conformation expected for an intrinsic membrane protein.     

Pseudorabies virus glycoprotein L is necessary for virus infectivity but dispensable for virion localization of glycoprotein H.

Herpesviruses contain a number of envelope glycoproteins which play important roles in the interaction between virions and target cells. Although several glycoproteins are not present in all herpesviruses, others, including glycoproteins H and L (gH and gL), are conserved throughout the Herpesviridae. To elucidate common properties and differences in herpesvirus glycoprotein function, corresponding virus mutants must be constructed and analyzed in different herpesvirus backgrounds. Analysis of gH- mutants of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and pseudorabies virus (PrV) showed that in both viruses gH is essential for penetration and cell-to-cell spread and that its presence is required for virion localization of gL. Since gH homologs are found complexed with gL, it was of interest to assess the phenotype of gL- mutant viruses. By using this approach, HSV-1 gL has been shown to be required for entry and for virion localization of gH (C. Roop, L. Hutchinson, and D. Johnson, J. Virol. 67:2285-2297, 1993). To examine whether a similar phenotype is associated with lack of gL in another alphaherpesvirus, PrV, we constructed two independent gL- PrV mutants by insertion and deletion-insertion mutagenesis. The salient findings are as follows: (i) PrV gL is required for penetration of virions and cell-to-cell spread; (ii) unlike HSV-1, PrV gH is incorporated into the virion in the absence of gL; (iii) virion localization of gH in the absence of gL is not sufficient for infectivity; (iv) in the absence of gL, N-glycans on PrV gH are processed to a greater extent than in the presence of gL, indicating masking of N-glycans by association with gL; and (v) an anti-gL polyclonal antiserum is able to neutralize virion infectivity but did not inhibit cell-to-cell spread. Thus, whereas PrV gL is essential for virus replication, as is HSV-1 gL, gL- PrV mutants exhibit properties strikingly different from those of HSV-1. In conclusion, our data show an important functional role for PrV gL in the viral entry process, which is not explained by a chaperone-type mechanism in gH maturation and processing.
